In just one day, all the opera houses in Kyoto such as "The Peacock Flies Southeast", "The Peony Pavilion" and "The Romance of the West Chamber" completely disappeared. Even the hand-copied scripts on the market were forcibly confiscated by officials.
Good plays are no longer allowed to be sung, and even the playbooks are not allowed to be sold. Naturally, the people are confused by this, but the court never gives explanations to their affairs. They have long been accustomed to it. Anyway, there are so many plays in the hook bar.
That's it...
"Oh, I've been all over Kyoto, but I still can't buy it. I have to be scolded by the lady again when I get back..." A little maid wearing a green shirt and a double bun said with a sigh as she walked on the road.
"Hey, girl, girl..."
Suddenly there was a voice from beside her. The little maid looked back and found a sneaky man waving to her in the corner of the wall.
The man was ugly and extremely wretched. Thinking of what the young lady had said, there were people in Kyoto who specialized in abducting and selling young girls like her who were as beautiful as she was. The little maid stepped back nervously, but was suddenly grabbed by the arm.
, forcefully pulled him closer to the alley next to him.
"Help...uh!"
He only shouted one word, and his mouth was covered.
"It's over!" Thinking of the extremely terrible thing, the girl's eyes immediately filled with tears, "Miss, Qin'er, Qin'er is afraid that I will never see you again..."
"Keep your voice down, keep your voice down..."
The voice of a man behind her was a bit anxious. Feeling that the man let go of her, the little maid immediately took two steps back and looked at the man warily.
A wretched man showed a smile on his face, unbuttoned his clothes, and approached the girl in the corner step by step.
"You, what do you want to do..." The girl's voice trembled, and there was endless fear in her big eyes.
"Girl, don't be afraid..." The man squinted and pulled open his clothes, only to see that the inside of his clothes on both sides was full of pockets, and the pockets were filled with thin books.
A mysterious smile appeared on the man's face and he said: "Girl, do you want a book? There are "The Romance of the West Chamber", "The Peony Pavilion", and "The Peacock Flies Southeast", all of which are uncut original versions!"
The expression on the girl's face was stunned.
After a while, the man sent the little maid out with a smile on his face, and said eagerly: "Girl, you can ask around, my price is the lowest among the 18 streets around, if you want any friends?
If you want to buy more than ten copies, the price of each copy can be even cheaper by one penny!"
"Then it depends on how clear your copy is and whether there are many mistakes..." The little maid waved her hand and said, "Okay, if you still want to buy it, I will come here to find you..."
The girl carried a few pamphlets like a thief and soon disappeared into the crowd.
…
…
"No more singing?" Li Yi asked, taking a sip of tea.
Old Man Sun sat aside, shook his head and said, "Yes, the government just sent someone yesterday to tell them that "The Peacock Flies Southeast," "The Romance of the West Chamber" and "The Peony Pavilion" are no longer allowed to be sung."
"If you don't let me sing, I won't sing." Li Yi waved his hand and didn't care at all.
This incident had been expected by him. If there was no incident about Her Royal Highness, then these three dramas, in the context of today's times, would at best be regarded as side projects and put in the hook. It would be nothing. The others
There are many Goulan operas with larger scales than these, but it is unfortunate. Goulan just wanted to produce more new plays to attract customers, but it encountered such a thing. It is really unfair.
Moreover, he... Anonymous's goal should have been achieved. "The Romance of the West Chamber" and "The Peony Pavilion" were also in ancient times, but even Sister Daiyu was obsessed with them. Those ladies from famous families and ladies from famous families all had a copy.
Put it under the pillow in the boudoir and secretly take a look at it when no one is around?
Old Man Sun asked with some uncertainty: "As for "Mulan", do we still want it..."
"Yes, yes, why not." Li Yi looked at him and said: "Who is Hua Mulan? She is loyal, filial, and righteous. She joins the army in place of her father. She is a complete heroine. Haven't there been dramas about her before? We just want people
When remembering the heroes, it would be great if we could be inspired by their integrity and learn the spirit of being brave enough to take on important responsibilities, not envying high officials for their generous salaries, serving the motherland, being brave and good at fighting, honoring parents, being brave and strong..."
It is normal to challenge feudal ethics and pursue free love. If you had known that the nameless person had such intentions, Goulan would not have fallen into his trap.
However, if you don’t allow negative energy, you can always use some positive energy, right?
The story of the heroine Hua Mulan has inspired many people from ancient times to the present. Although dynasties have changed, many dynasties still officially define her as a national hero, and her story is widely spread.
Although Her Royal Highness is a woman, she is worried about the country and has a golden body. In order to understand the sentiments of the people, she is willing to stay away from the palace and become a small catcher. When the country's reputation is about to be damaged, she steps forward and risks her life.
After a battle with the Grandmaster, now he does not hesitate to be imprisoned but also wants to speak out for the women of the world and improve the bad habits of society...
No self-interest, only benefiting others. What kind of spirit is this? This is the spirit of internationalism, this is humanitarianism... This is the spirit of patriotism. All the people of Jingguo, regardless of men and women, must learn from her without selfishness.
From this point of view, one can become a person of great benefit to the people.
A person's ability may be great or small, but as long as he has this spirit, he is already a noble-minded person, a pure person, a moral person, a person who has escaped vulgar taste, a person who is useful to the people.
Her Royal Highness the Princess is such a person. Isn’t this the contemporary Hua Mulan!
No, Your Highness the Princess has nobler sentiments than Hua Mulan!
Just Hua Mulan is not enough. If you have time, look through the history books and see if there are any other national heroines who are not inferior to men. Heroes should accept the glory that belongs to them and should not exist on the dusty history books.
…
"Your Majesty is right..." Old Man Sun said with an educated look on his face, "Your Majesty is still thoughtful. I will urge them to seize the time to rehearse when I get back. In addition, this kind of play will be more popular with women, and it should be repeated by then.
Add more women’s shows…”
Lao Fang was wrestling with Princess Shouning's bodyguards on the stone table in the courtyard, 1V5. All five of the other party's faces turned red. He looked leisurely and contented, and the arrogant Loli was so angry that his bodyguards were useless.
, stopped looking, and ran to the side with Yongning to play on the swing.
After watching Old Man Sun leave, Li Yi stood in the yard and let out a long sigh of relief.
This is a feudal society after all, and being able to achieve this level is as far as it can go.
The concept that men are superior to women has existed since ancient times, and with the development of history, women's status has become lower and lower, but it does not fall in a straight line, there will always be some ups and downs.
The pre-Tang Dynasty should be the time when women's status reached its highest peak in recent hundreds of years.
Divorce is a common thing, and not many people will condemn her for being uncivilized if she rides a horse and bats in public. This is especially true in the palace, where there are countless love triangles and four-cornered love affairs that mess up the relationship between men and women...
Of course, the style of women in the pre-Tang Dynasty is not something that the women of Jingguo can envy, but at any rate, they are a continuation of Li Tang, and they can always inherit some of the styles of their predecessors. This is especially reflected in the nobles.
In recent years, His Majesty has deliberately supported students from poor families, which has weakened the influence of wealthy families in the court. Students from poor families have a weak foundation and need to find a backer, while wealthy families want to expand their influence, so marrying a daughter of a wealthy family is the best of both worlds.
It was so popular in the past few years that some married students did not dare to come forward to look at the results.
Not to mention the students from poor families, the probability of marriage between nobles and nobles is almost 90%. Who doesn’t have a powerful natal family and has not endured much hardship since childhood? How can I still be bullied when I marry into your family?
This resulted in many officials in the DPRK being very high-spirited in the court, and immediately had to shrink their necks and conduct themselves when they returned home. After analysis by Goulan's intelligence agency, it was found that the strictness of some officials in Jingguo's wife control was staggering.
Although they may not be influenced by women in making certain major decisions, women still have a very strong say in the upper-class circles of Kyoto.
Li Yi does not expect them to be able to completely subvert tradition, launch a revolution, lead the women of Jing State to stand up and take the lead, and suppress the men. This is impossible - of course, it is possible in certain special times.
.
What's more, he...the nameless person's purpose from the beginning to the end was not to want them to launch a vigorous feminist movement.
The seeds have been planted, who knows what it will eventually develop into?
It may be strangled to death as soon as it sprouts, or it may grow into a towering tree, but no matter what, there will always be some changes.
I’ll leave the next thing to Her Royal Highness the Princess...
For him, the matter had completely come to an end. Li Yi shook his head and stopped thinking about it. At a certain moment, he glanced at it inadvertently, and his expression suddenly changed.
"Li Binning, come down here, who asked you to climb the tree!" Li Yi walked into the yard, pointed at the tsundere loli who was sitting on the tree and making faces at him, and said angrily: "If you don't obey me, you will not be allowed to do anything in the future.
I’ll take you out to play!”
"Slightly, slightly..."
The tsundere loli stuck out her tongue at him, raised a bird egg in her hand, and said proudly: "Look, I took it, it's awesome!"
"------"
The tsundere loli has already dared to climb the tree to dig out the bird's nest. The tree has already been climbed. The next step is probably to go to the sky. Miss Liu Er needs to hide the kite she took from the Prince's Mansion...
"Will you climb a tree next time?" When Li Yi asked her with a straight face, the tsundere loli was hiding behind Ruyi, and she couldn't even see her face.
"I'm going to cook." Ruyi said with a smile.
There is a cook in the house, but Ruyi still cooks by herself most of the time.
"Sister Ruyi, I'm going to help you." Tsundere Loli ran away faster, glanced at Li Yi, and ran into the kitchen ahead of Ruyi.
Li Yi rubbed his brows helplessly, looked back at the guards who were wrestling with Lao Fang, and said angrily: "What do you do for food? Don't you want your head... And you, don't think you are old.
I won’t talk about you anymore. Why did Your Majesty ask you to come here? What does it mean to stand at the door and take a nap all day long..."
They don’t even know what their responsibilities are, what kind of security team is sent by the old emperor!
Several guards stood up immediately. The old man in gray at the door twitched his eyes and finally calmed down the raging anger in his heart.
Your wife is watching from the side. How could something happen to Her Royal Highness? Besides, what Princess Shouning has decided to do, can you stop her and try it?
…
…
Liu Dayou, the leader of the capital, was very happy today. In front of the civil and military officials of the court, he was singled out and praised by His Majesty. He also received a lot of rewards. Looking at the envious eyes of those big guys who were usually better than him, he looked like a big boss.
It's like drinking a bowl of iced sour plum soup on a hot day, but it makes you feel awesome...
Originally, he thought that he could only hold on to the one-third of an acre of land in Anxi County for the rest of his life. When he was old, he could resign peacefully. When he was sixty years old, he would have a large house of dozens of acres for retirement, with filial children and a full house of descendants.
, you will never have enough money to spend, and you can still have sex with your beautiful concubine at noon every day------these are not too much demands, right?
But I never expected that when a middle-aged person becomes possessed, he will be possessed by evil spirits. Even if he has good luck in officialdom, he will be afraid of it.
First, the reputation of Anxi County under my jurisdiction was very good, and it was rated as an advanced county in the country. I was also promoted inexplicably, and was suddenly transferred from Qing'an Prefecture to the capital, and came to the center of power, even though it was only a small county.
Ling, but at this age he can sit in the position of Jingcheng Ling, there is no guarantee what position he will be promoted to in the future!
He originally thought that as long as he worked conscientiously and did his job well, he was already familiar with the routine in Anxi County, so he copied it. After a few years and achieved some political achievements, he would probably be in the eyes of His Majesty.
But who the hell could have imagined that just how long had passed before the seat under my butt was still hot, and I received a summons from His Majesty for a one-day trip to the court. When I returned to the county government, His Majesty’s imperial edict
And rewards also came.
Originally, because he was an outsider, he would be ostracized by the county magistrate and others from time to time. When he received the order just now, he saw that the county magistrate's face turned pale with fright, and naturally he felt proud again.
When he came out of the palace just now, Mr. Dong also praised him highly and said a lot of words of encouragement.
When Mr. Dong was the prefect of Qing'an, he was the magistrate of Anxi County. Now he is working under Mr. Dong, so he has a backer. As the son-in-law of Prime Minister Shen, he is someone who is highly valued by His Majesty. Of course, Mr. Dong's career will not stop there.
For a mere Jing Zhaoyin...
This is not the only happy event that happened recently. The incompetent boy of his family was also very successful. He actually passed the admissions examination of the School of Computer Science, and his father no longer has to worry about his future.
"Congratulations, Sir! Congratulations, Sir!" Magistrate Liu sat in the hall and took a sip of tea. Then someone walked in from the door and came forward with a happy face to congratulate him.
County Magistrate Liu waved his hand. Although Zhao Captou was far inferior to Liu in terms of skills, he was a well-rounded person and could be considered a talent. He was one of his few confidants and asked, "How are things going?"
Capt. Zhao immediately handed over his hand and said: "Don't worry, sir, my subordinates have visited all Goulan in Beijing. Now there are no Goulan to perform those plays. All the manuscripts sold on the street have been brought back and destroyed."
Magistrate Liu took another sip of tea and then said: "The imperial court has been paying close attention to this matter these days. You should keep an eye on it. If you find out, you will not tolerate it!"
"Yes! My subordinates know it!" Zhao Captou showed hesitation on his face and said: "Sir, although we have done a good job on the surface, there are still some people who secretly sell the book and have repeatedly banned them. Their whereabouts are secretive.
It’s impossible to completely ban it.”
"It's enough to do a good job on the surface." County Magistrate Liu stood up and said.
The unknown person with ulterior motives used these sensitive dramas to incite the women of Kyoto, which led to the chaos in Kyoto a few days ago. Now that Her Royal Highness the Princess has been lifted from the ground, even if those dramas are still spread on a small scale,
I can't afford any more waste.
After walking out of the door, County Magistrate Liu curled his lips. Those dramas were a bunch of nonsense. They were simply nonsense. Women should pursue free love. This was against etiquette and etiquette. Fortunately, his daughter was always at home and was not exposed to those dirty things.
Poisoned by dirty thoughts.
However, there is one thing that must be listened to by Her Highness the Princess. Yun'er is only fourteen this year. She originally planned to arrange a marriage for her this year, but now it seems that it is better to postpone it for another two years.
When he walked to his daughter's door, he saw that the door was ajar. Magistrate Liu wanted to knock on the door and go in, but he saw his daughter leaning on the table, motionless for a long time...
"Yun'er, what are you doing?" He walked in and asked with some confusion.
"Ah, Dad, why are you here!"
When the girl heard the voice, her expression changed and she quickly closed the book in her hand.
Magistrate Liu glanced around and saw with surprise the three characters "The Romance of the West Chamber" written on the cover of the book.
[PS: This update has 4,600 words, combined into one, and there will be additional updates in the evening. In fact, I finished writing this chapter in the morning, but since there are still a dozen short of the average of over 10,000, I will update it later so I can save screenshots.
(zhuang) Read (bi), although for the great gods, it is like stepping over a small slope, but for me, who is rushing to the street, it is higher than Mount Everest. Even if it is over 10,000, I am so awesome.
